Abstract

A dual-enclosure semi-closed diffusion wherein an outer enclosure is evacuatable and an inner enclosure has a limited aperture, the inner enclosure includes a diffusion vessel having an aperture and a baffle for partially blocking the aperture to leave the limited aperture. The outer enclosure is not directly exposed to impurity vapor and sustains a pressure difference, while the inner enclosure is not subjected to a substantial pressure difference.
